The invincible warrior Mina, not content with her army's occupation of Silvanost, moves against Sanction. Exiled by a dragon's wrath, the Qualinesti elves flee the destruction of their homeland, heading toward what they believe to be a safe haven in Silvanesti.

Hoping to find a way to stop the onslaught, the Solamnic Knight Gerard volunteers to return to the army of the Dark Knights as a spy. Though brave, it is a move that could prove disastrous for him and the side for which he fights.

Desperate for help, the small band of heroes look outside their group to an unlikely ally. The Dragon Overlord Malys has not taken kindly to Mina's army despoiling her territory with their invasion. But the heroes also look to one of their own, someone who may hold the secret to the past and the key to victory: a kender named Tasslehoff.
